A: Your 3rd option,
-The new ship is to be launched next week
...is a grammatically correct sentence. However, it is not passive voice. “Is to be” is used to give a command, or to talk about something that will certainly happen in the future.

1) will be launch
➡️ This is incorrect because it would have to be “will be launched “ to work in the sentence.

2) is being launched
➡️ This is the passive voice that fits in the sentence.

"Those cakes are sold fast." -- An observation about the kind of cake. The cakes may be in or out of stock at that moment.
